I specialize in treating teens and adults who have experienced trauma. Sometimes traumatic childhoods include physical or sexual abuse and other times traumas are less clearcut and can stem from verbal or emotional abuse or circumstances outside of our control. In either case, these experiences often lead to negative self talk, anxious cycling thoughts and feelings of guilt, inadequacy, or loneliness. Some find that they have a need to be in control that is creating problems in relationships or at work or they feel a need to take responsibility for everything, even things outside of their circle of control. If you identify with any of these negative beliefs or experiences, I would love to help. Your internal dialogue can change and I can help teach you how.

I believe that each of us has the ability to change the internal voices in our heads and learn to recognize that we are good enough, that it is safe to let go of some control. You are not alone and you are worth investing time into yourself to relearn that you have value and can learn how to get your needs met in appropriate ways.

I have over 20 years of experience working with teens and adults. I use a variety of techniques that I blend together and draw from a variety of training and reading to try and meet the unique needs my clients. Some of my favorite tools are based in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a positive person centered approach and help with identification of core negative beliefs that we target specifically. EMDR weaves nicely into the process for those who are interested.

As a Christian myself, I have a deep faith and respect for the spiritual beliefs that my clients bring into therapy. I have found over the years that my client’s spiritual beliefs, regardless of specific faith practice, has the ability to enhance the work they do in therapy. For those who are interested in an integration between therapy and faith I am comfortable talking about this aspect of your life and will always respect your personal beliefs.

When couples come in to see me they often have a combination of their own past issues that may need to be addressed as well as couples topics to be worked on together. As with my individual clients we will discuss what your specific needs and goals are, and come up with a plan to stay on track that feels right for you. I see couples struggling to improve communication, recover and rebuild after an affair, or seeking to rekindle the spark they may have lost as the business of life sometimes overwhelms a relationship over time.

My hope is that the clients I see feel safe and comfortable whether in my office or virtually. I believe that as the client you should feel in control of the direction our sessions are going. Naturally therapy isn’t always easy, topics can be uncomfortable at times and I may not always tell you what you want to hear, but I will do my best to honor your goals and am open to redirection when needed.

If you are ready to get started you can book an appointment now. If you prefer to have a free 15-minute consultation first to see if it seems like the right fit we can start there. I look forward to meeting you!
